We needed to overnight at the HNL airport between a late arrival and a morning flight to Kauai. For this, the Ohana serves its purpose, but other than the "aloha" from the efficient front desk staff, there's nothing to distinguish this hotel from a motel just off the offramp in Mobile, AL. If you are looking for a Hawaiian experience, look elsewhere.
The room (and bathroom) was small, basic and dated, but clean. The floor lamp was broken and in pieces, balanced in a corner. The furniture was basic. All in serious need of refurbishment. The restaurant was bleak, though there is a plaza within a 5-minute walk with a few other options.
I don't think the other airport hotels are much better, so if I had another stayover at HNL, I'd consider the Ohana again - it's convenient and offers a free shuttle. Staying elsewhere in Honolulu would require the expense of a shuttle, though you could get a much nicer room for the same price. There are only 3 airport hotels, 2 of which are under the same management, so they have a real lock on the price, which is at least double what you would pay for this level of quality anywhere else.
